Remote desktop type software that the client need not install anything [closed]

You want Single-Click VNC

  1. It's an EXE they can toss at the end
  2. If you have a VNC server that supports reverse VNC, you are good to go
  3. Yes
  4. You modify your router settings, they only need outbound 5500 TCP

Take a look at TeamViewer.

  • The Quick Support is a single executable that establishes a connection.
  • Works on Windows and Mac OS X.
  • Free for personal use, one-time payment for business use.
  • Has other features other solutions don't have, like creating a VPN between you and your client as well as being able to flip the viewer/presenter roles for doing presentations or demonstrations.

My vote would go towards LogMeIn Rescue.

  1. No software to install
  2. Works on a Mac
  3. Not free
  4. No need to mess with any settings.
